The Professional Edge

A career-readiness and personal-effectiveness programme for university students and young professionals: confidence, communication, emotional intelligence, professionalism, CV and LinkedIn, and interview skills.

The Professional Edge is a practice-based programme that complements academic and technical education. It is currently a proposed programme for university partners: the planning format is eight weekend-based weeks, and all arrangements, dates, venues and fees are to be agreed and are subject to institutional approval. No university has yet approved it.
